School administrators in school-only partnerships have the ability to customize what data teachers/non-rostered staff can manually manage in their TalkingPoints accounts. You are able to control if teachers can manually add students and manually add contacts as well as delete previous manually added data.

Note: If you are in a district partnership, please stay tuned for similar options coming soon!

Choosing the right settings for you:

  • Keep the boxes unchecked if you want your account data to stay true to the data in your student information system, either from your Clever or ClassLink sync, or from your .csv upload.

  • Check the Add Students box if you want teachers to be able to add students to their account, such as another school in the building they do not have on their class roster.

  • Check the Add Contacts box if you wan teachers to be able to add additional contacts for students who might not be part of your SIS or data sync.

  • Please make sure to click Save Settings when finished.

If you do choose to allow teachers to manually add data, you can use the Delete Manually Added Data button to mass delete students that teachers added manually. We recommend you use this function in between school years in an effort to start the school year with clean data.

  1. Navigate to the School Settings section

  2. Click Delete Manually Added Data

  3. Select the type of data you'd like to manually delete and click Delete
